ZFW founder Madhav Kasturia commented on this partnership “It’s exciting to see a legacy brand like Vadilal diversify channels & focus on the dark store model to increase their footprint & growth. Supporting Vadilal in their dark store expansion is a major endorsement to our model & more importantly the hyperlocal fulfillment space. We aim to power Vadilal dark stores on the Western frontier & then down South.”
Rahil Gandhi, Vadilal Dairy International whole-time CEO commented on this matter “Vadilal as a brand is committed to bringing the finest ice cream products to discerning consumers across various territories. While our commitment to continuously grow our retail channel remains steadfast, our partnership with a new-age platform like ZFW enables us to accelerate our cloud kitchens rollout in a relatively short span of time.
